Anthracite and Parchment?

I am interesting in this unique color combination? I have a couple of questions:

1. Has anyone ever seen this combo?
2. If so, what do ya think?
3. Does anyone have any pictures?

Thanks for your time,

Lanman

This is the same combo I am looking at. To make it even rarer, I am looking at 6MT with Navi. I am guessing that I will not be able to locate it, and also wonder if the color combo will be available for '07 models.

I like it, I have it. It's sport on the outside, class on the inside. A pain to keep clean, but worth it. Sorry, no pics as of now.

Anthracite is one of the easiest to keep clean. Silver and Gold are probably the only ones that are easier. Parchment is hard to keep clean. Anything and everything makes it dirty, but when it is clean it looks awesome.

That's my combo. I chose it for the classy look outside and the light, upbeat look inside. I will echo the hard-to-keep-clean statements, though it's really only the floormats that get dirty quickly.

So I clicked on the link thinking it will lead to pictures of a nicely clean car...

Thats a horrible accident! Those pictures are just heartbreakers. Were you the driver? If you were, glad to see that you are ok.

You should definitely put a warning label on that link!

My wife and I are thinking about the anthracite with parchment, but would like to see some other photos.

I saw the combo this weekend and it looks great! If you have seen Anthracite/Camel combo, it is really similar. I like the fact that it is a very rare combo for 06.

The next time I go back to the dealer, I will take my camera.

Let me throw this one out for all you guys addicted to mods -

What about redoing the seats and door inserts with red leather? That's what I am aiming for at some point. Both RX-8's and GTO's are available with red seats, and they look great. The seats contrast well with the remaining black interior trim. BTW my TL is Anthracite.

My ultimate dream car is a Porsche Carerra in Seal Grey with a red leather interior. The one I saw afew years ago was stunning.

I'm going with Anthracite and Quartz. I just hope it isn't too much gray on gray.

Anyone have that combo?

My car will roll off the line in Marysville on June 23rd. It is the only way I could get that combination with a 6MT. Should be worht the wait....right???

I waited two months for mine (6MT/NAV/Anthracite/Quartz) in '05, and it was well worth it. Congrats!
